when you go to your preferences...set it to manual, not automatic and then you won't lose all your songs....

You mean the "preferences" on the Ipod itself? (It's a Nano) I can't seem to find this on the itunes software.

Check here. If it's set to automatic "sync" it will match the iPod to what's in the library, that is, it will delete everything on the iPod that isn't in the library.

when your nano hooks up to the computer a screen comes up with your nano's name etc..... on the options there is a check where you can automatically download music or manually...check manual..
